Book Description
This work tells the story of 30 pilgrims who meet by chance at the Tabard Inn in Southwark, London, and journey together to the shrine of St Thomas Becket in Canterbury cathedral. To pass the time along the way, they tell stories to one another, shot through with cunning wit and dry humour.
About this book: Geoffey Chaucer (c.1340-1400) was one of the finest storytellers in the English language, as well as being a great poet and an accomplished prose writer. The Canterbury Tales, although incomplete at the time of Chaucer's death, is generally regarded as his greatest work. The Canterbury Tales tells the story of 30 pilgrims who meet by chance at the Tabard Inn in Southwark, London and journey together to the shrine of St. Thomas Becket in Canterbury cathedral. To pass the time along the way, they tell stories to one another. The Tales themselves range from the exemplary saints' lives told by the nuns, to the bawdy, comic tales of the miller and the reeve, always shot through with Chaucer's cunning wit and dry humour. Chaucer leaves his readers with the impression that the whole of medieval society has passed before their eyes. This new transcription and edition is taken from British Library MS Harley 7334, a beautifully decorated, volume produced within ten years of Chaucer's death. The aim of the present edition, with its 'on-page' notes and glosses, is to enable readers with little or no previous experience of medieval English to read and enjoy this landmark in English Literature.

关于三本书:Canterbury Tales, Decameron,Of human bondage. ====================================== 《十日谈》早在初中就当淫书读过,借一本《坎德博雷故事》读读看——却是在“毕业之前穷尽借书卡”的念头下萌生。算一算之间,似有十年。 这两本老气横秋的故事集,一直...
評分标标准准的中世纪英国传世经典,考虑到乔叟个人旅行及阅读其他书籍的来源,其故事灵感很大程度也囊括了当时的欧洲大陆,从附注中看得出其受影响最大的应该是文艺复兴早期的意大利。 本书的背景有点像中国古代的跑江湖,各色江湖人士为了去坎特伯雷大教堂朝圣结伴而行的路上每人...
評分《坎特伯雷故事》全书由二十四个故事与一个总引构成,巴斯妇所讲述的故事格外引人注意,这位结过五次婚的女人一边驳斥要妇女守贞的清规戒律,一边在故事中抛出一个惹人好奇的问题:“女人最大的欲望是什么?”问题的起因来自亚瑟王宫中一位武士,他凭白玷污了一位姑娘而染上罪...
評分火车开始轰鸣,Z30次列车上一片欢声笑语。 这轻松的氛围始于列车长的一句提议:“既然我们都是要乘火车去北京看天安门的,一路上大家尽可以畅所欲言。每个人说一个故事,精彩的话,我就免费送一瓶来自西藏冰川的矿物质纯净水,原价7块5哦!” 然后大家就“争奇斗艳”地讲了起...
評分于2017年01月13日读完。 一个14世纪的故事系列,多用诗歌讲述,少数几个故事使用散文写成。故事多世俗,多关于男女之事,有些地方写的比较直接。 比较有意思的段落如下。 “对于上帝的或者妻子的秘密,做丈夫的不应该感到好奇。只要他看到上帝赐给他的...
關注主題:religion / gender / age as a performance / deconstruction/ history. Chaucer是否對一切主流的價值觀都抱著嘲諷揶揄的態度呢?我們是否過度解讀瞭中世紀的詩歌呢?不管怎麼樣,這是一本真正的寶庫。
评分就讀瞭兩個tales... 勉強算讀過瞭?
